We ended our trip here and it was the most relaxing, yet rich experience. The art of Kintsugi is extraordinary and absolutely points me back to my faith and how my broken pieces don’t discount me from the love of Christ. I thought I knew most of the process, but the time spent went deeper than my current knowledge and enhanced my love for the art form even more! It’s a must if you are in Tokyo, or even if you aren’t, make the trip.

This was a fantastic experience. The owner and her husband made us feel very welcome and provided excellent tuition. The tea and sweet treats were delicious.
It was very clear that they were exceptionally talented, and the craftsmanship on display was incredible!
We feel very inspired to continue Kintsugi at home and plan on breaking many plates!

Male in his 20s / Germany
I’m currently living in Tokyo on a student visa from Germany, and this was my first time trying out Ninja Zen Meditation.
The staff picked me up at the meeting spot and guided me to the venue, so I didn’t have to worry about getting lost. The place itself was a really cool traditional Japanese house. Just stepping inside made it feel like I was entering a completely different world, which got me really excited for the experience.
The meditation wasn’t just sitting quietly but included unique movements like walking blindfolded and using a wooden sword, which kept things interesting and fun. I never felt bored because the balance was just right, and I found it easy to focus.
There was also an English interpreter the whole time, so I could easily follow along without any stress.
They also gave us a booklet on the “Kuji-Goshin-Ho” (Nine Syllable Protection Method) and an English pamphlet about Ninja Zen Meditation, both of which I’m definitely taking back to Germany as great souvenirs.
Keep an open mind!!
This isn’t your typical meditation session. With blindfolded walking and wooden
Thank you for your participation.
We are delighted to know that you were satisfied with the "Ninja Zen Meditation."

Highly recommend. This was our favorite part of a great trip! Toshie is a wonderful teacher and she has set up this easy-going experience so that it's fun and accessible for everyone. Absolutely worth the price!
Our group was two couples, it was just us; I think she extended the time because she saw we were having fun. Skill and language are no barriers, she has pictures, labels, and experience doing this for many years and it's easy to learn from her and incredibly fun! She serves tea and snacks to enjoy and you can chat casually as you work and wait for things to dry. Plus you get an incredible, one-of-a-kind souvenir/gift/memento out of it! (Which she packages securely for you to travel without worry of damaging it.)
As a tourist who doesn't speak Japanese, this was the activity that left me feeling the closest connection to the culture.
At the end of the class I wish I had some small gift to give back to our teacher.

Let me start by saying this art form is so cool and everywhere in Japan. And make no mistake, this is an art studio that has been passed down for generations. We had a great time and learned a lot of new things, immersing ourselves in this unique art form with wonderful teachers. Highly recommend.
Thank you for visiting us.

From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. It's an intimate, private class inside the artist's studio. The instructor provided information on the history of kintsugi and carefully guided us through each step of the process with ample detail. A list of all the tools and materials used in the class are provided in a list as well (make sure to go to Tokyu Hands in Shinjuku to get them yourself!)
Easy to find, but like others have said give yourself a little extra time just in case.

We started off with a homemade dessert treat, and Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko were lovely. They patiently walked us through the process of creating our own pieces, and gave us information on equipment to purchase here in Japan in order to do kintsugi back home.
Overall a lovely way to have a personalized souvenir and learn more about the art of Kintsugi.

We thoroughly enjoyed our kintsugi lesson with Kuge Crafts. In a snug little studio our class of four students were charmed by the instructor husband and wife team. The lesson was well planned and timed. We chose our small nicked vessels from an array of antique cups and immediately set about repairing and decorating them with golden lacquer. The results were so pleasing. and well-packed for travel home.

My 80 year old father was just going to humor me, but the lovely couple who run Kuge crafts won him over instantly. They were just wonderful and so willing to share their love of kintsugi. We were greeted with beautiful snacks and tea and were able to pick our item from a selection. We were then told how old our items were. Ours were from the Edo period. We got right to work repairing the miniature chips, it’s a beginner class! Our cups turned out so beautiful and my father surprisingly got very into decorating his! He said it was his favorite activity we’d done in our two week trip. I can’t wait to come back for another visit! They also gave us a very helpful list of all the items needed to do this at home. I was able to get everything at Hands and can’t wait to attempt this again.
Thank you so much for such a lovely afternoon!

I spent a lovely couple of hours learning about and trying my hand at kintsugi with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko. They make quite a team!
We received snacks to start and tea throughout. We choose from among a dozen chipped cups to repair and then walked through the process at a leisurely pace. They sent us home with enough information (plus a tiny custom brush) to try repairs at home.
Kintsugi can be a much more creative craft than I realized. I highly recommend this class for both the interaction Y. and Y. and the activity.
Getting to the shop can be a challenge. Allow plenty of time.

We were concerned about doing this….as it is described as “glass etching”. Something we have not done ever in our life, but we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised at the process. The instructor took us step by step to explain the technique of glass etching and he was to patient and calm during the whole process. I would definitely recommend this to all of my friends and family. It was just steps outside of the Asakusa train Station….so convenient.

Toshie Masubuchi was a wealth of knowledge in Kintsugi, as well as being a warm and detailed teacher throughout the lesson. This was my first time engaging in this art form and Toshi was prepared to teach with detailed handouts (in English), thorough verbal descriptions and visual hands-on examples at each step.
She welcomed me into her art space with a hot cup of tea on a cold morning and was patient and helpful during the entire lesson. I will treasure the memories of this class and recommend them to anyone visiting Tokyo.
